i think the flip side here, and a good comparison would be the case in illinois several years ago, with a sitting governor, rod blagojevich, was investigated by the u.s. attorney, pat fitzgerald in chicago. and what that case centered on was governor blagojevich actively, essentially selling a u.s. senate seat to the highest bidder. that corruption was ongoing. realtime, 24/7, whereas in this case, again, these are allegations, but if they're true, the corruption that could have occurred ended almost a year ago. so from a prosecutor's perspective, they're no worse off waiting two, three weeks, maybe a month, and filing charges and the public interest is protected. >> i unction the argument. i totally disagree with it. i think the public interest in this case is about nailing people for public corruption and it helps if you ruin their career in the process. but, apparently, they've made their decision. we'll see if "washington post" reporting has been borne out. but this far, they've been johnny on the spot on this case. it's really helpful to have you here. thank you very much. >> thank
